Flow Computing claims that its parallel processing unit (PPU) could boost the performance of any CPU by up to 100 times.
There are bold claims, and then, there are bold claims — Flow Computing just made the latter. According to the startup, its proprietary tech, which it refers to as a parallel processing unit , can boost the performance of any CPU by up to 100 times.
Recommended Videos Flow Computing only came into being in January of this year; this is a new startup built on the foundation of the VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland. The company — which appears to only employ three of its founders right now, although the FAQ doesn’t make it entirely clear — has already gathered around $4.3 million in funding. Though the headcount and the age of the company are both on the shorter side, its tech sounds mighty impressive.
In the FAQ document that the company has shared with The Verge, it said: “Parallel functionality in legacy software and applications can be accelerated by recompiling them for the PPU without any code changes. The more parallel functionality there is, the more performance boost will be subsequently gained.
